Eric Clapton & J.J. Cale - The Road to Escondido


J.J. Cale
Eric Clapton and J.J. Cale are set to release their first original album together, The Road to Escondido, November 7 on Reprise. The 14 songs feature 11 Cale originals, one Clapton original, a John Mayer song and a cover of "Sporting Life Blues."

Clapton scored big with Cale's "After Midnight" and "Cocaine," and the two have long had a strong bond. The two guitarists/singers/songwriters decided to record an original album together after performing side-by-side at Clapton's 2004 Crossroads guitar festival in Dallas.

"This was the realization of what may have been my last ambition -- to work with the man who's music has inspired me for as long as I can remember," Clapton says.

I think there's a typo in the line...

"Clapton scored big with Cale's "After Midnight" and "Cocaine," and the two have long had a strong bong."


Uhm, I think you met to say they had a strong bond, but I suppose if they dropped some double plated glass on the pavement and it didn't break, then your comments hold true. Freudian slip!

Perhaps he put his bong down long enough to edit the story.
